Blighty M - do you feel better? Yes, I know, but we do already know this.
i think one solution for cats poo would be to put a cat litter tray with sand or such like, in your garden, tip or scoop the hard stuff into a plastic bag, and bin it. They WILL use that instead of the garden.
I agree! I have three dogs but I've found I'm clearing cat poop on a more regular bases than my own dogs! With the exception of four days I've cleared up cat poop almost everyday for the past month. I've managed to make it stop as I've just put lots of sticks in the ground (in the affected area) and I've tied string to the fence in such a way it's near impossible for cats to walk along. Most people who defend cats would be rightfully be disgusted if I was to leave dog poop on the pavement and then defend my dogs by saying 'they have todo it somewhere'.
Every equid (horse pony and donkey) has to have a passport and be microchipped. That scheme is a total balls up. Just a tax on responsible owners. A job creation scheme for DEFRA. A fine example of bureaucracy and regulation gone barmy. A money making opportunity for those who issue the passport. An unworkable nightmare for vets. Something to be avoided by lowlife irresponsible owners.
Perhaps it would be easier to employ some lateral thinking. Those who take exception to cats, birds, horses, cows in gardens should be microchipped and only allow to live in high rise flats or places surrounded by concrete.

Pat E, I did feel better thankyou for asking! However, if everyone knows this already, then why do folk still moan like anything and want to harm animals for being an animal? Illusions of grandeur?
Oh, and if you think every cat will use a litter tray in the garden then you're a little on cloud cuckoo land am afraid. They don't use it on a whole and they would never use it if it rained. Bit of a problem in the UK that.....
I usually put the pepper balls from the pepper grinder around the edges of our veggie patches and the cats seem to stay away. We have a about 7 or 8 regular cat visitors to our garden and they stay well away from the veggie patches.
You know my view is why waste your life getting this angry about something you can do nothing about. As the law stands cats can go where they want and if you hurt them you will feel the full force of the law and could go to prison. I'm quite appalled at some of the comments aimed at injuring the cats, I'm suprised anyone on here would want to hurt an animal.
It isn't the cats fault anyway they are just doing what cats do and it isn't illegal to own a cat in this country. I find dog shit on the pavement outside my house far more disgusting as I'm always treading in it and the damn seagulls have covered my summerhouse roof in seagull poo and divebomb all the elderly residents on our street everytime they have chicks.
That said you clearly need to deal with this problem. Have you tried one of these in your garden, all cats detest water and I use one of these on my own beds as the cat down the road likes nothing better than to scratch up all my seedlings. It's very effective and harmless and no cat will go near it.
I have three cats, cats don't like going outside to the toilet anymore than you would, they need one litter tray per cat kept clean all the time. Mine will come inside to use their trays when they want to go even if they are outside all day.
To be honest I feel more anger at my two neighbours who never do any gardening and so I have to deal with their bindweed, brambles and sundry weeds growing into all my beds and destroying my new fence. One year it got the ivy got so bad the entire fence fell into my garden and he just left it there - we had to retrieve and replace HIS fence costing us a grand. The alternative was no fence but we just bit the bullet and did it becasue at the end of the day I want to enjoy my garden not bicker with neighbours.
lou , your right I the person who started this issue should come back as a cat next life.... I have a cat going on 14 and he does his business in his own garden most of the time , my you he does sit on next door shed cause she always chucks out raw meat for seagulls which crap every where and I mean every where all over the washing , garden and cars it even get on the windows of your house...and as for your bad neighbour mines better 4 dogs attack my fence howl most of the day and dig holes all over their garden, they hardly cut the grass and give their dogs raw dead rabbit or half a pigs head a few weeks ago ... aren't neighbours great any way try and have a lovely day despite having idiots living by you we need a holiday payed for don't you think by the neighbours
